Very OT, 9/11
Interesting doco. Kept me engaged for the full hour. At the same time I was watching "In the Name of The Father" on TV, which is all about corrupt police/lawyers and a government conspiracy.
A lot of things about 9/11 don't add up - about the only thing that is irrefutable is that Bush's administration benefited more then anyone. To be honest, all that info didn't surprise me. Actually it did: I thought that what likely happened on 9/11 was that the US knew in advance that an attack was going to take place, and they turned a blind eye. Having the government actually carry out/actively support the attacks is shocking - but ethically not that different to passive support.
Meef, are you American?
I'm Australian btw.

"So that Germany did not officially seem the aggressor (which it was), Hitler needed an excuse for entering/attacking Poland. It was Heinrich Himmler who came up with the idea; thus the plan was code named Operation Himmler.
On the night of August 31, 1939, Nazis took an unknown prisoner from one of their concentration camps, dressed him in a Polish uniform, took him to the town of Gleiwitz (on the border of Poland and Germany), and then shot him. The staged scene with the dead prisoner dressed in a Polish uniform was supposed to appear as a Polish attack against a German radio station.
Hitler used the staged attack as the excuse to invade Poland." - http://history1900s.about.com/library/h ... 090399.htm
I dont think its such a far fetched idea, the similarities are striking.

i would say it was very relevant & current considering there have been thousands killed and are still dying everyday because of this one event. Ask an Iraqi or an Afgan if he thinks no one cares anymore.djadonis206 wrote:I agree - at least we talk about current events around herebuzzcock wrote:

Ok
Are there any Iraqis or Afghani's who care about 9/11 anymore?
Thank you, thank you very much...
That made all the difference in the world!
